Eugene grew up in a family who had a shellfish business, so had been aware of quahog pearls most of his life.

I wanted to make a special page for these 3 large quahog pearls because they were just extra special.

Two of these he bought from a friend and the large white one he played with as a kid, using it as marble.

Eugene has made an unsuccessful attempt at starting a new world record category for largest quahog pearl. I thought it might be fun to see if we could find the largest quahog pearl by hearing from folks here at KariPearls.com .

While viewing and photographing Eugene's pearls I discovered that Culvers at high noon was a great place to photograph pearls.

I've seen necklaces made of a single quahog pearl but only one made of several quahog pearls. It was gorgeous. To think that these are natural pearls found along the eastern coast of the USA. The colors are a stunning range from dark, dark purple to the purest of white with every shade of lavender and lilacs in between.

I asked for little neck clams to be served for my last birthday. They not only were delicious but there was the thrill of maybe finding a pearl. No such luck, as these are extremely rare to find.

Here is another large quahog pearl that's for sale here. Make an offer we can't refuse!
